The figure on page 4 who observes Memnon's training duel with Rah-Nok
appears to be Thorak, who will appear more prominently in
The Scorpion King.
On page 6, King Telent ponders on whether Memnon will attack Ur or
Akkadia or his own tribe. Ur was a major city-state of the ancient
Sumerian civilization of the Middle East.
Also on page 6, King Telent speaks to Queen Isis, with whom he
discusses a partnership with King Pheron and Balthazar. Both Pheron
and Balthazar will appear in
The Scorpion King. The
reference to Pheron's son being against such an alliance will also
bear fruit in that film.
| I don't know if it's intentional, but the soldier in the panel 1
spread on pages 8-9 looks a bit like actor Kirk Douglas portraying
Spartacus in the 1960 film of the same name. |

Unanswered Questions
What happened to the
Book of Tehuti? While riding with his forces into a
battle on page 11, King Telent seems to have misplaced it and asks
his men, "Where's the book? Oh, by the gods...did one of you grab
the book?" Was it left behind at their camp?
Is the
Book of Tehuti
the same book that becomes known as the
Book of Dead, as speculated in the study of
"The Akkadian Prophecy" Part 1?
